Mark Atkinson left NSW at the beginning of the 1991/92 season to play cricket in Tasmania without a contract or a promise. By February that season he was selected to make his first class debut for Tasmania to play Pakistan.

An excellent gloveman and very effective batsman Atkinson proceeded to carve out a tremendous first class career during a successful era for Tasmanian cricket.

After 95 first class games Atkinson holds the record for the most number of dismissals for Tasmania with 290 dismissals – 261 catches and 29 stumpings.

Sam Nogajski, the back-to-back Australian umpire of the year, will make his senior men's ICC event debut at the T20 World Cup

For the past 15 years, Sam Nogajski reckons he's had every decision he's ever made scrutinised.

That scrutiny is only going to ramp up from today as the 45-year-old high school maths teacher heads to the Caribbean and United States for his first senior men's ICC World Cup.

Northern Territory Cricket welcomes the completion of a purpose-built drop-in wicket nursey at TIO Stadium, with two drop-in wickets currently housed and plans to build a third.

The nursery is a crucial piece of sporting infrastructure built next to the playing surface to allow for the easy creation, preparation and installation of drop-in cricket pitches in and out of TIO Stadium.

The Territory Labour Government has invested $280,000 in the project

The Queensland Cricket Foundation is backing a campaign to have all KFC Queensland Premier Cricket club grounds outfitted with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) unit for the 2024-25 season.

The Foundation is aiming to raise $15,000 as part of an end of financial year fundraising campaign to provide the final five AED units to ensure 100 percent of Premier club venues are covered by the life-saving equipment.

That will mean all fields used during the summer by Premier clubs will always have a unit accessible, whether during playing, training or if a member of the public requires urgent medical attention.

Throughout the life of any club, its history will reveal that many of its greatest wins were the result of high-scoring batting partnerships. And while Randwick Petersham has been operating for only 23 seasons following a merger between Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville in 2001, the club has chalked up some impressive 1st Grade partnerships. Of its 10 record partnerships, nine resulted in wins while the other was in a drawn match. Here’s how the record partnerships played out.

1st Wicket 254 (also club record): Round 4, 2016-17 v Blacktown Mounties at Joe McAleer: WON 5-378 to 9-373 dec

One of the great natural talents of his generations, Gary Gilmour was a clean striker of the ball, lively swing bowler and brilliant fieldsman.

The fact that he was a left hander from Newcastle in New South Wales invited comparisons with Alan Davidson. At his peak, he was a superb cricketer, and his relatively short career was littered with memorable performances: 122 against South Australia on his first class debut in 1971-72; 52 and 4-75 on his test debut against New Zealand in 1973-74; a mesmerising spell of 6-14 against England in the 1975 World Cup semi-final and five wickets against the West Indies at Adelaide in 1975-76; and a brutal century against new Zealand in Christchurch in 1977.

Sea Eagles Sign South African Bowling All-Rounder

Thando Ntini is an exciting prospect and son of Proteas legend Makhaya Ntini. 💯

Like his father, Thando is an opening bowler who has enjoyed plenty of success during his career to date. The 23-year-old seamer has represented South Africa at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in January 2018; and was picked up by the South Africa Emerging Players in 2019.

He has starred at both provincial and Franchise level for Western Province, Cape Cobras, Titans, and most recently KwaZulu-Natal Coastal, as well as the Dolphins. In all the young quick has played 21 First-Class matches, picking up 44 wickets at an average of 33.

Thando has picked up 26 List A wickets, including best bowling figures of 4-36 on his Momentum One Day Cup debut for the Cobras back in February 2020. In T20 Cricket, Ntini has 24 wickets to date from his 25 matches.

Last summer, Ntini travelled to the UK ahead of the 2023 season. The talented bowler was instrumental in Lordswood Cricket Club's Kent Premier League victory scoring 416 runs at an average of 32, alongside his 28 wickets at an impressive 22.25.

Lordswood went on to re-sign their South African star for the ongoing UK 2024 season. At the conclusion of the English Summer, Thando will travel to Australia, joining up with Brisbane Grade side, Wynnum Manly District Cricket Club.

The 'Sea Eagles' will be looking forward to welcoming the South African seamer into their ranks for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.

I am delighted to share that I am appointed as a Multicultural Ambassador for Cricket Australia 🏏

I strongly believe that each ambassador, with their unique strengths and experiences, serves as a vital pillar, bringing immense value to our community. Cricket, as a common passion, fosters connections and facilitates communication between our communities. With extensive experience in this field, I am eager to strengthen the bond between hashtag#Australia and hashtag#India. This role will be a fantastic platform to engage with the 1.5 million South Asians in Australia, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

I look forward to applying my experiences as a Champion for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 and collaborating once again with some of my fellow Champions. Additionally, I am excited to work with a broader group to foster people-to-people connections through sport.

I am committed to supporting the 5 main areas of the Multicultural Action Plan and making a significant impact on our communities.

Let's unite people through cricket.
